HC Deb 24 March 1937 vol 321 cc2899-900
84. Mr. Grant-Ferris

asked the Secretary of State for War the number and names of local authorities in the Greater London area who have refused to elect a representative on their Territorial Army Association dealing with anti-aircraft work; and what is the reason for such refusal?

The Financial Secretary to the War Office (Sir Victor Warrender)

Under the Territorial and Reserve Forces Act, 1907, the local civil authorities which may have representation on Territorial Army Associations are county councils, county borough councils and universities. The local authorities in the Greater London area which have refused to nominate representatives for appointment to associations are the East and West Ham borough councils.
